Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bonneuil-sur-Marne could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bonneuil-sur-Marne in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
